Alright, I have read the reports and most of the above comments. No, we do not know the nature of the accident or this family's parenting tactics. However, those of us who are parents/guardians, etc...of young children realize the "importance" of child safety and protecting our children from a potentially dangerous situation. Example; "Susie, don't go near the edge, we're at The Grand Canyon. Hold onto my hand and look." Simple right? These beautiful, majestic big cats should (of course) not be blamed for this incident. They were only acting the way their maker intended them to. They are "wild" and to punish these cats would be ludicrous. Hooray for the zoo employees and prayers to the little boy for a good recovery! I'll say prayers for the family too.
